They should include Buckeyes fans' emotions on this chart, putting the 2002-2003 National Title somewhere above Mount Everest, and the BCS loss to Florida somewhere below Mariana Trench :P

fantastic!

with that much deep water under the surface, it makes you think that there must be innumerable undiscovered forms of potential sea life which have never been seen by humans.

Yeah, I agree. I bet we don't know of half the species that live in the water.

I was thinking the same thing. Why does the chart for boiling eggs end at sea level? ;)

That's pretty sweet. Didn't know about that sub in 1960. That's crazy stuff.

Yeah, no doubt. I'd actually be surprised if we knew about 10% of them. I've heard people say that we know more about the the universe than we do the ocean. That's probably accurate.
